Well sux to hear about the tare down, but I can't wait to see it come back to life again!!! Are you going with the same layout?

Good luck with the move!

Thanks! I'm not going to do the exact same layout but I do want to do another Unzan layout. I'm thinking a DHG desert of sorts with the Unzan stone as the main focus as the next layout. Not quite sure how to use the pockets to their full potential yet but I'll figure that out when I'm ready to start up again.

Decommissioned. I'm moving so I had to tear this tank down. It was really rough as it was my first large planted tank, but I'm excited about the next one when I move to The SF Bay Area. At least I'll be close to AFA!

Where are you moving too? AFA is a nice resource to have (though not exactly close to me).

Trust me, the green water WILL disappear, whether you use a UV or not. It's only a matter of time. It seems like set-ups with high enough light always go through a greenwater phase.

Speaking of atomic inline diffusors, mine sucks. It worked for a few months until it began to leak. The c02 would rather seep out of the cracks in the plastic than diffuse through the ceramic portion of the unit. =\

Maybe I will try out the ista max mix reactor.

I've had the UV running for a few days now and it does not seem to be making a difference at all....

Have you thought about using a ADA pollen glass diffuser? I have used one and they are my go to diffusion method for all tanks, even large ones. A bit pricey but worth it as they are pieces of glass art themselves.

Thanks! I just wish I could see it better

I like the pollen diffusers but I really wanted to keep as much out of the tank as I possibly can. Also when I had an in tank diffuser it was a pain to keep clean.

Very lush growth still. Nice.
